Welcome!

As President of the
German-American Lawyers Association (DAJV), my colleagues and I would like to welcome you to our
new website. Please take advantage of its new streamlined format to find out about upcoming events and activities of our various members sections as well as the other
resources the DAJV has to offer.

Our association
serves as a platform for discussion, networking and information for legal specialists and interested parties on both sides of the
Atlantic. With approx. 2400 American and
German members, the DAJV offers a unique
opportunity to contact a diverse community of lawyers and
academics from both Germany and the United States.

Whether you
are an attorney, law student, academic or otherwise interested party, the DAJV offers you a forum to interact with others who
share your enthusiasm for transatlantic cooperation and partnership in the
legal, political, and commercial world.
Our mission is to contribute
to the mutual understanding of our nations' legal systems while promoting the
exchange of ideas and experiences that foster enduring personal and professional relationships. To those ends, we offer inter alia the
following:

Frequent seminars,
conferences and lectures on U.S. and German legal theory and practice

Information for
American students who wish to pursue post-graduate studies and work in Germany

An annual
conference on German and American law meeting in the United States and
Germany, and

Five specialty
sections that permit our members to examine in greater depth the legal issues
and trends most important to their cross-border practices.

For decades, the United States' dynamic legal system has fascinated German observers, so much so that a small and often overlooked number of whom continue to influence its evolution. Likewise, legal developments within Germany have long held the attention of a select group of U.S. jurists and academics keen on learning from one of the most efficient judiciaries in the world.

If you share our desire to foster this spirit underlying our shared transatlantic community, we would be honored to welcome you to the DAJV.
